The benefits of ISO 27001:2005

The reputation of ISO and the certification against the internationally recognized ISO 27001:2005 enhances any company’s credibility. It clearly demonstrates the validity of your information and a real commitment to upholding information security. The set up and certification of an ISMS can also transform your corporate culture both internally and externally, opening up new business opportunities with security conscious customers/clients, in addition to improving employee ethics and the notion of confidentiality throughout the workplace. What’s more, it allows you to enforce information security and reduce the possible risk of fraud, information loss and disclosure.

ISO 27001 is relevant for any organization, irrespective of its large or small size or location in any part of the world. This standard is suitable for almost all the organizations, from government agencies to commercial enterprises and even for not for profit organizations. Information Security Management System (ISMS) is primarily suitable in the field where protection of information is vital, e.g. finance, health, public and IT sectors.
